Chapter 250 Liquidation!
The office on the third floor of the Jagged Chamber of Commerce is now in a mess.
The walls were covered with black cracks, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.
The heavy desk was tilted aside, and there was a dark silence outside the broken window.
However, what is more shuddering than the night is the deafening roar coming from the distant streets.
"Smash the Chamber of Commerce Alliance!!!"
"Black Wind Castle is Lord Demon King's Black Wind Castle! Not this group of blood-sucking borers!"
"Long live Lord Demon King!!!"
Grok knelt on the ground, shaking all over.
Looking at the almost destroyed office, and then at the roaring waves in the night, unprecedented fear appeared on his face.
He finally understood.
Why did the Demon King keep him until now.
It’s not that the Lord didn’t dare to kill him, it wasn’t that he was concerned about the Dragon family behind him, but he wanted to keep him as bait to drag the Dragon family into the quagmire, and let him die carrying all the blame after everything was over.
As early as at the lords meeting more than a month ago, that person had already decided how to kill him.
"I...I, please wait!" He raised his head suddenly, as if grasping the last life-saving straw, his eyes fixed on Gluck standing in front of him.
The burly orc warrior carried a double-edged battle ax, and the firelight reflected in his pupils, making him look like a god of death walking on the battlefield.
Grok crawled forward, his tone carrying a desperate plea.
"Ge, Master Grak, please - give me a chance! I can be loyal to the Demon King! I can kill the Dragon family for the Demon King! Please let me work for the Demon King——"
"Loyalty to the Demon King?" Grak sneered, bared his fangs and showed a stern smile, "Are you worthy?"
It's just a Goblin!
As soon as he finished speaking, the double-edged battle ax in his hand hit the floor hard. The huge impact made the entire ground tremble, and dust fell.
Grok's face instantly turned pale, his lips trembled so much that he couldn't say a word, and his face fell back in fear.
He must escape!
He cannot die here!
Driven by his survival instinct, he finally took off his legs, staggered around and ran away.
Bloodblade Demon General Gerak looked at the fleeing Goblin with a playful look, as if looking at a corpse. He didn't even chase after him, but just put the battle ax on his shoulder.
Without daring to stay for a second, Gronk stumbled out of the office, rushed down the stairs, and stumbled all the way to the back door of the Chamber of Commerce.
He had no time to think or look back. His heartbeat was beating crazily. His ears were filled with the wild roars and evil laughter of the goblins. The firelight on the street had already lit up the night sky.
"Break open the door of the Chamber of Commerce!"
"Take back what belongs to us!"
"Ouch!!!!"
The guards outside have completely collapsed. They were thugs hired by the Chamber of Commerce, and their loyalty depends entirely on money, but now, their sponsors can no longer protect themselves.
He rushed out of the back door like crazy and got into a narrow alley, trying to escape from the burning battlefield. However, his steps suddenly stalled——
The road ahead has been blocked by a group of goblins.
They wore shabby clothes and held crude weapons in their hands. However, their eyes were burning with unprecedented anger.
This is the workers of Black Wind Castle - the goblins who were once exploited, squeezed, and enslaved by the Jagged Merchant Guild.
Of course, not all of them are squeezed by the Sawtooth Chamber of Commerce, but this kind of thing is no longer important.
Grok's lips trembled and he stepped back slowly, trying to turn around and escape. However, more goblins gradually poured into the alley behind him.
He was completely surrounded.
“You...what do you want to do?”
His voice was hoarse, with a hint of desperate pleading, "I was framed! You can't touch me! Please wait, I am being used by the Dragon family! It's them-"
Pop!
A calloused hand slapped Grok hard on the face.
"Family Dragon? I knew it was you!"
The one who hit him was an old goblin. His face was covered with wrinkles and his eyes showed deep hatred.
"Do you know how many of our brothers have died?" The old Goblin's voice was low and angry, "Now you actually have the nerve to say that you were framed?"
"You lackeys of the Dragon family, poured dirty water on the Demon King! It's you! Let our children, our neighbors, and our brothers drink the poisonous water!"
"Pay for his life! Let him pay for his life!!"
The surrounding goblins roared, raising their weapons one after another, hitting the ground, making a dull echo.
Grok collapsed completely. He knelt on the ground, kowtowing crazily, with a cry in his voice: "No - don't kill me! I am the president of the Chamber of Commerce! I... I can compensate you! Gold! And Keira... I will give you whatever you want!"
However, what he begged for was a pair of eyes filled with hatred.
"Gold?"
"Bah! That's ours!!"
"Hang him up!"
With a loud shout, several thick ropes were suddenly wrapped around Grok's neck and limbs, and dozens of goblins worked together to drag him towards a rusty lamppost at the end of the alley.
Grok struggled wildly, screaming in despair.
"No - stop! Stop!!!"
But no one paid attention to his screams.
Click!
The rope was tied tightly to the lamppost.
Under the firelight, the goblins formed a circle, staring at Grok who was about to die.
At this moment, Grok was already dying and had no strength left to struggle. He looked desperately at the goblins surrounding him.
The only consolation is that he was not the only one who was hung up on the street lights. The whole street was hung with goblins, as well as some hell dwarves or demons.
They are all members of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, some are his associates, some are not...but these are not important anymore.
Snick walked forward slowly, looked at him deeply, and whispered: "You deserve this."
His hand suddenly waved——
Click!
The rope tightened suddenly, and Grok's body was hoisted high amidst the screams. His legs kicked wildly, his mouth opened helplessly, his tongue protruded, his eyeballs bulged, and his face gradually turned from green to purple until he was completely stiff.
Glock, who was once all-powerful, is now hanging like a dead dog.
Looking at the dead Goblin in front of them, the surrounding Goblins were silent for a moment, and then burst into deafening cheers.
The Sawtooth Merchant Guild has since been completely destroyed.
Under the blazing fire, the once arrogant Chamber of Commerce president finally turned into a cold corpse, hanging on the streets of Black Wind Castle, waiting for time to dry.
On the street not far away, under the siege of two demon generals, Ye Ge, the servant of the Dragon family, finally lost his strength and fell heavily with an unwilling roar.
Thanos's dagger sank into his heart, draining his blood. Ye Ge tried to burn his body with all his strength, but his throat was blocked by a dark thorn stick. He finally breathed his last breath and turned into a cold stone statue.
It's a pity that this is not a maze, and there is no way to imprison his soul. We can only let the Demon God judge him.
Blanthia yawned, withdrew the black thorns that were twisting like tentacles all over the alley, and then licked the corners of her red mouth with unfulfilled interest.
Although he did not taste the blood of the Dragon family members, as an appetizer of revenge, Zacro's confidants were not bad.
Burning flames burned on the streets of Black Wind Castle, and the bustling commercial street was completely reduced to ruins.
The hell dwarves living around had tense expressions and hid in their homes, closing their doors and windows, for fear of being affected by the aftermath of the flames.
At this time, the guards of Black Wind Castle began to enter the scene, arresting some of the guys who were causing the most trouble, confiscating the property they had robbed, confiscating some of it, and stuffing some of it into their own purses.
As for Snick.
The Demon King still needed him to stabilize order, so they naturally turned a blind eye and let them go, including the gold bars and banknotes he moved from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance vault.
Leaving the Chamber of Commerce Alliance in a mess, the goblins dispersed at Snick's call, taking their loot and rushing into the goblin community that was like a fortress.
As before, their leaders did not enjoy the fruits of victory exclusively, but distributed them to their supporters.
Whether it was the beer and bread stolen, or the gold and silver treasures stolen from the chamber of commerce's treasury.
Because of this beautiful victory, the prestige of Snick and his neighborhood committee has never been higher.
Unsatisfied with the immediate victory, he took out the list he had prepared before while the iron was hot, and launched a second round of liquidation within the Goblin community - this time targeting the enemies hiding around them.
Those guys that the Demon King has been eyeing for a long time, but didn’t have time to deal with!
This night, the power structure of Black Wind Castle was completely rewritten, and the Dragon family's chess pieces buried in Black Wind Castle were also dead. They escaped and confessed, and almost none of them were left...
The magic crystal cannon factory stopped working because of this.
However, in the face of greater losses, this most important thing has become the least worth mentioning.
Faced with a massive amount of personal and physical evidence as well as iron-clad facts, this time even if the Dragon family has extraordinary abilities, they will not be able to escape.
Although this chaos broke out in Luo Yan's territory, it had the smallest impact on Luo Yan.
Even if he takes the overall situation into consideration and handles it properly, this can become a big achievement...
...
In a secluded corner of the Demonic Academy of Demonology, a huge oval-shaped greenhouse stands in the center of the obsidian building complex. The crystal clear shell is like a living crystal, reflecting a faint magical luster and covering the well-proportioned plant community inside, so that the entire magic workshop is like a secret realm of its own.
This is the most earth-like place in the entire hell.
Inside the secret realm, the moist air is mixed with the fragrance of plants, and the imperceptible magic power ripples in the air, like gentle water waves. The colorful jellyfish float slowly by the pond, and the fluorescent lights are like a dream. In a quiet pavilion, a woman is quietly reading ancient books, just like the girl in the painting.
Her skin was crystal clear, like the purest crystal, yet it had a soft jelly texture and glowed like a liquid flowing. Not only her skin and smile, but her hair and robes also had subtle waves, but it was hard to see without careful observation.
This is the Emperor Slime Professor Edonia, a master-level expert of the slime clan, and also a leader in the alchemy field of the Demon City High Demonstration Academy. She designed the "moon" above the entire Demon City. Compared to the Golden Slime, as an Imperial Slime, her bloodline is more noble and can even be traced back to a certain royal family in the First Era. Not too long ago, she had an unknown past with Vivian's grandfather.
Perhaps it is because of that past incident that she treats Vivian like a real granddaughter, and her attitude towards Luo Yan is also quite special.
At this moment, her eyes fell on the two people approaching, with a faint smile on her lips.
"Vivian, why do you have time to see me today?" Her voice was gentle and long, with a bit of doting.
Vivian put away her umbrella and stepped forward with a smile on her face, hugged her arm coquettishly and shook it.
"Professor Edonia! I miss you!"
"We meet every day, what do you have to miss about me," Professor Edonia couldn't help but tease, "Next time you ask me for help, remember to make up a better excuse."
Vivian's cheeks turned red slightly after her excuse was exposed.
But after all, she was the future little master of the Principality of Colin. She was much thicker-skinned than the average person. She rolled her eyes, coughed pretending to be calm, and got over the matter.
"No, it is indeed Professor Edonia...it is really clear and unscathed...Actually, it's not me who has something to trouble you, it's my...er, it's Mr. Luo Yan who has something to trouble you with."
This guy almost told me about my brother.
"Oh?" Adonia looked at her with a smile in her eyes, not revealing it, and then looked at Luo Yan, who was standing not far behind Vivian - the child recommended to her by Principal Alvin.
She continued in a joking tone.
"It's actually the famous Lord Demon King of Thunder County who wants to see me, so I have to listen to his troubles."
Stepping forward from behind Vivian, Luo Yan nodded slightly and said humbly.
"Professor Edonia, you are serious, I am just a junior, I'm really sorry to trouble you."
Professor Edonia smiled and continued.
"It's no trouble. It's my honor to serve you. I heard that you planted a lot of flowers and plants in the maze of Thunder County. If my magic workshop is short of any rare materials in the future, I might have to ask you to help."
Just a greeting.
Professor Edonia paused for a moment, with a glimmer of scrutiny and interest in her eyes.
"So, Mr. Luo Yan... what kind of problem made you come to me in person?"
Luo Yan did not speak, and with a slight stroke of his index finger, he took out a crystal bottle from the space ring.
The bottle contains a sample of the water source from Black Wind Castle. The transparent liquid is slowly sloshing inside the bottle and looks no different from ordinary water.
Edonia took the bottle and touched it gently with her slender fingers. A subtle magic wave was instantly transmitted to the bottle body and penetrated into the bottle along the edge of the cork.
She frowned slightly, flipped her palm slightly, opened the cork, and at the same time activated the magic change, and then a wisp of water mist rose from the clear water.
Smelling a bad smell, Vivian frowned slightly and took half a step back.
Professor Edonia was lost in thought, then her eyes narrowed and she whispered to herself.
"It's actually the power of a curse..."
After saying this, she picked a translucent leaf and poured a drop of water from the bottle on it. The moment the droplet touched the leaf, the translucent leaf was instantly dyed pure black, and squirmed violently under Professor Edonia's fingertips. It struggled for several seconds like a living animal, and finally withered and disintegrated, turning into fragments.
Luo Yan looked at the withered leaves on her fingertips with interest.
This thing seems to be good for testing poisons, but he, a top student at Demon King Academy, has never seen it before.
"As expected." Adonia sighed, raised her eyes to look at Luo Yan, and said with a serious expression, "This is a battlefield potion at the end of the First Era. It is called the 'blood of corruption'. It was once used to spread fear in sabotage operations behind enemy lines. Even after dilution, it can still make the drinker gradually weaken within three days until he completely loses his ability to move. If you are practicing the breath power of the Dragon God Sect and have a strength of bronze level or above, you can rely on your own resistance to suppress it. If you are an ordinary magician, you may need to rely on your own strength to suppress it temporarily. "
"Blood of corruption?" Luo Yan frowned slightly.
"Well, its refining process is extremely complicated. The alchemist who can make it must have at least diamond level strength and go through special magic rituals." Edonia said slowly, her eyes lost in memories, and after a moment she continued in a nostalgic tone, "I remember the last time I saw it was five hundred years ago... It has been so many years. I didn't expect to see this thing again, and it was still near the Magic City."
It seems that Professor Edonia must have used it.
But Luo Yan didn't want to ask what she did with this thing a long time ago. After all, in that era when demons were dancing, everything sprouted, and demigod-level strongmen were still fighting on the front lines. During the Red Eyes, both humans and demons massacred each other. It was only later that they put on formal suits and ties.
The further the years go by, the more unrestrained extraordinary power becomes, especially in that era when epics appeared in large numbers, and it was common to destroy a city or a country.
"Consolidate your faith," Professor Edonia nodded slightly, and said the terrifying words in an understatement, "Moreover, from the perspective of spreading fear and cost-effectiveness, there are more efficient methods now... In fact, spreading corrosion silently by moisturizing things like you is the best option."
Luo Yan nodded, understanding the implication of Professor Edonia's words——
The person who configured this thing is an old guy.
And he is still an old antique living in the past.
But there is no need to guess.
Other than the Dragon family, no one has a reason to do this.
Luo Yan's reaction was quite calm, but when Vivian heard this, her eyebrows were raised, and she was furious. Her little fists were clenched tightly, and her red pupils flashed with a dangerous light.
"Damn it! Someone actually dares to poison me... Goblin!" She almost said this through gritted teeth, and the magic power around her body surged faintly.
Edonia couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
She has never heard that there are goblins in the Principality of Colin.
"Vivian," Luo Yan put his hand on Vivian's shoulder, his calm tone filled with unquestionable majesty, "Calm down."
"I, I'm worried about you!" Vivian glared menacingly. She glanced at him, but soon her aura weakened, and she gritted her teeth and muttered, "It must be the Dragon family again... I should have told Dad about that back then..."
The Dragon family had used her before.
At that time, she thought about confessing to her father, but was persuaded by Luo Yan.
"I hope you won't be like this," Luo Yan looked directly into her eyes and said softly, "This is a grudge between me and the Dragon family, and I don't want you to get involved."
Involving the Colin family is indeed a strategy, but it is not a good thing for either himself or Vivian.
He has a better way, there is no need to add complications.
Besides, at this stage, the Dragon family is no different from dead people in his eyes.
It’s time to finish.
Vivian puffed up her cheeks in anger, but in the end they deflated like a deflated ball.
Edonia watched the interaction between the two, raising her eyebrows with interest, with an aunt-like smile on her face.
Luo Yan always felt that she knew something, but was not sure how much she knew, so he coughed slightly and changed the topic.
"Excuse me... Is there a way to remove this magic potion?"
He can cast the Holy Light, but he can't cast it in hell.
And there were so many goblins that he couldn't sweep them away one by one.
Edonia smiled.
"It's not difficult, I can directly prepare the antidote for you."
Luo Yan was startled for a moment, then showed a gentle smile: "Thank you very much, Professor."
She didn't expect Luo Yan to agree so readily. Adonia raised her eyebrows in surprise and joked.
"Huh? I thought you would be polite."
"If it were someone else, I would be polite, but you are Miss Vivian's mentor and Principal Ivan's friend... They are all important people to me, and so are you," Luo Yan said with a smile and a calm tone, "But at least, at least Let me do the collecting of materials.
Appropriate owed favors are more conducive to bringing the relationship closer to each other than giving favors, especially for the strong and elders. People always tend to help those they have helped.
It is precisely because of this that Luo Yan has never been polite when it comes to troublesome elders for help.
His first sponsorship was obtained from Principal Alvin and Professor Lilith, and later Professor Lilith helped him again.
Hearing Luo Yan’s words, Professor Edonia’s face blossomed with joy, a magic light flashed in her hand, and a piece of parchment slowly fell into Luo Yan’s hand, and then Juanxiu’s handwriting automatically appeared on the paper.
"This list of materials is for you. Many things are not rare, but the Blazing Fire Flower can only be found on the land where magma has flowed. It may be a bit difficult to get."
The Blazing Fire Flower?
Luo Yan smiled slightly.
This thing happens to be available in the magic mine near Beifeng City. Long before the magic plant frenzy started, his little players had already transplanted this thing into his back garden.
He glanced at the materials on the list and reported them to Youyou for verification. Basically, they could all be found in his territory.
Luo Yan put the list into the space ring, nodded and said.
Said: "Speaking of which, you arrived in time. If it were any later, the potion would have completely decomposed, and it would be difficult to fix the evidence." As she spoke, she placed a handful of withered leaves on the table.
That is the trace of curse corrosion.
Although I don’t know what kind of magical crop this is, with the guarantee of the vice-principal of the High Demon Academy, I think the Ministry of Truth will be able to recognize this evidence.
Of course.
In fact, even without this physical evidence, Luo Yan still has other evidence.
Just when they were talking, he had already learned about the situation in Black Wind Castle from Youyou——
A riot broke out in the Goblin community of Black Wind Castle, and the mighty flames burned the weeds in his back garden as accurately as he expected.
In fact, according to his original expectation, the flames would come later, at least after he disclosed the evidence of the collusion between the Dragon family and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and let the fear ferment for a while longer.
But now it seems that as long as the governor does a good job, evidence is actually not that important.
Luo Yan smiled slightly and said humbly.
“Fortunately, the professor is here.”
"You're welcome."
Professor Edonia blinked her eyes, and instead of continuing to greet the two of them, sent them out of the huge magic workshop.
Luo Yan needs to prepare the materials needed to prepare the antidote as soon as possible, and she also needs to make some preparations in advance to prepare the antidote.
Standing at the door of the magic workshop, Vivian pouted slightly, her expression seemed to say - what about me?
In an instant, he understood the expectations hidden behind the gloominess. Luo Yan chuckled and reached out to rub her hair.
"Of course, thank you, Miss Vivian."
Vivian's cheeks turned red unconsciously, the corners of her mouth could not help but tilt up slightly, and she squinted her eyelashes to enjoy it.
This guy didn't blush at all when he lied, but his body was unexpectedly honest...or in other words, true to his own feelings.
Is this also inherited from the Colin family?
Luo Yan couldn't help but reflect on himself, whether a similar situation might have happened to him inadvertently.
While he was deep in thought, Vivian caught the silence on his face, and couldn't help but misunderstood, and couldn't help but whisper.
"You really don't need my help? I actually..."
Looking at Vivian who looked worried, Luo Yan knew that she must have misunderstood something again, so he shook his head with a smile.
"It's no use for this little thing. When I need your help one day, I won't be polite. What's more..."
When he said this, Luo Yan paused for a moment, his eyes as dark as night, "They are finished."
Before tonight, the drastic changes in Black Wind Castle will shock the entire Demon City, and cause an uproar from top to bottom.
He once promised to provide the Ministry of Truth with evidence of the Dragon family's involvement.
And now, this evidence has been completed.
Though this may not be what the Ministry of Truth was expecting.
vivian was stunned for a moment. Although she did not fully understand the profound meaning of Luo Yan's words, she read the murderous intention hidden in that sentence.
The Dragon family is finished.
Whether it's the devil standing in front of the stage or the guy hiding behind the scenes.
Her shoulders trembled unconsciously, and her eyes were filled with excitement and admiration.
As expected of my elder brother——
It’s really unfathomable!
